Motor learning encompasses a wide range of phenomena, ranging from relatively low-level
mechanisms for maintaining calibration of our movements, to making high-level cognitive …

Learning motor skills evolves from the effortful selection of single movement elements to
their combined fast and accurate production. We review recent trends in the study of skill …

Humans are adept at performing an extraordinary breadth of voluntary motor actions that
allow us to rapidly move around and interact with the environment. While voluntary motor …

Following a change in the environment or motor apparatus, human subjects are able to
rapidly compensate their movements to recover accurate performance. This ability to adapt …

Highlights•Practice leads to improved skill, habitual behavior and reduced cognitive
load.•Collectively, these phenomena are commonly referred to as 'automaticity'.•Automaticity …

The study of motor planning and learning in humans has undergone a dramatic
transformation in the 20 years since this journal's last review of this topic. The behavioral …

Highlights•Multiple processes contribute to adaptation of movements to systematic
perturbations.•Many qualitatively distinct dual-process decompositions have been …

Highlights•Sensorimotor learning consists of processes acting on multiple timescales.•Skill
learning and adaptation are distinct components of sensorimotor learning.•Reward affects …

Highlights•Advanced control theory highlights the role of sensory feedback for motor
function.•Goal-directed feedback begins in muscle activity∼ 60 ms after the limb is …

Virtual reality simulators are becoming increasingly popular in dental schools across the
world. But to what extent do these systems reflect actual dental ability? Addressing this …
